My name is Adar Cohen, and I am a spatial designer based in Amsterdam. I hold a Master’s degree in Interior Architecture from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (KABK), earned in 2024. With experience across various architecture and design studios, my work centers on blending theory and practice to explore the deeper, intangible dimensions of space—focusing on the emotional aspect of space. I enjoy combining handcrafted techniques with digital design, creating a balance between tactile and technological elements to enhance spaces through immersive sensory experiences.
